This can make them morecompetitive in the job market and more successful in their careers.2.2 Asynchronous Online Learning Asynchronous online learning is a type of distance learning in which students andinstructors do not interact in real time [13, 14]. Instead, students can access course materials andcomplete assignments at their convenience. This contrasts with synchronous online learning, inwhich students and instructors must attend class sessions at a predetermined time. Asynchronousonline learning has many advantages over synchronous online learning in areas of flexibility,accessibility, and scalability. In addition, asynchronous online learning can also be
